SHORTRIDGE DAILY ECHO
The latest movement of humanity
seems to be in the direction of the
movies. Everyone is presenting a
show. Dr. Trot predicts that this
will be recorded as one of the greater moves of humanity. Apparently
the band is the organization that has
established this system as an effective way of raising the desired medium of exchange.
xxxx
Robert J. Shultz's "Men of Melody" gave a stirring performance on
the stage of Caleb Mills Hall Tuesday evening before several hundred
spectators. A full concert band of
one hundred pieces was employed to
bring the music-loving audience the
very finest in classical and march
music.
The concert was part of a long
chain of charity shows staged by
the band to raise some $5,000 dollars to outfit the men in uniforms.
From the latest report, the uniforms
will surpass anything Indianapolis
has ever seen. Blue and white with
overcoats to match seems to be the
present menu, however.
